That’s fascinating! What veggies do you find work best? I’ve been experimenting, but I’d love to hear more experiences!
I usually toss in leafy greens and squash. They seem to love it, and it encourages foraging! Keeps them entertained too.

Leafy greens are a hit! I’ve also noticed my chickens thriving on beet tops and carrot leaves. It’s fun to watch them enjoy their food!

Does anyone else think chicken diets could be a bit contentious? Sometimes I feel like I’m judged for using commercial feeds. Anyone else feel the same?
Yes! There’s always an argument between homemade versus commercial. I just try to find what works best for my flock!
I keep it simple: a quality commercial layer feed with occasional treats. I trust the nutrient balance that those feeds provide.

I’ve seen both approaches have their pros and cons! It’s almost like a chicken version of the great food debate! What’s most important is that we’re all giving our best for our chickens.
I love that perspective! Sometimes I think about the ‘chicken diets’ just like the latest health trends for humans! Funny how we all have our favorites!
